Hi, I’m Wayne and I’m very excited to be returning once more to the truly fabulous, Boiler, Barcelona, 11th January. I DJ mainly in the UK at Mod/Soul/R&B clubs and run my own local night, I’m Shakin’, Northampton. Like most DJ’s my style is always progressing/evolving, but expect a dance floor orientated mix of R&B, Soul & Northern, with a sprinkling of Gospel, Latin & Popcorn with the odd Unreleased Acetate thrown in for good measure! 🙂 Places you may have heard me spin: The Boiler(Nov 2012), New Untouchables events, RnB 123, Yum Yum, Hubble Bubble, Kings Hall, Windsor Suite.

Madly in love of vintage 50′ & 60’s Rhythm & Blues and Early Soul records, I’m into the mod scene for about fifteen years now. Over the years I have djing in the all the most important Italian mod weekenders, but also in Spain (Euro Yeye and Forum Club) and England (Mousetrap and No Way Out). For my first time at the Boiler I will play a gritty mixture of R&B, Mod Jazz, Early Soul with a dash of latin Bogaloo.

Five tunes I might play are:
Perry and the Harmonics – Do the monkey with James – Mercury
The Jolly Jax – Preciate it – Cookin
Jack Hammer – Down in the subway – UK acetate
Eddie Kirk – The Hawg – Volt
The Demons – Going to the dance – Clover

DJ FRANCHO (Zaragoza)

Almost anything recorded between 1950 and 1967 fits in my box as long as it has powerful and vibrant grooves! All killers no fillers! As of my experience, i’ve been deejaying since i was 17, first in my hometown of Zaragoza in legendary bars such as Kezka, Vampirella, Claxon, Aloha, El Corazón Verde or Route 666, and then in clubs such as Bohanon or el Explosivo!. I’ve also spun records in countless parties in Malaga, Barcelona, Valencia, Guadalajara, Leon… Mi records have also visited clubs like the Rave On and Rock The Joint in Barcelona and festivals such as BCN Hayride (bcn), Screamin’ (Calella), High Rockabilly (Calafell), Rock’n’roll Riot (Oviedo), Big Rumble (Pravia), Get rhythm (Milan, Italia)… too many to mention. Aside from DJing i’ve also comped vinyls and cds for El Toro Records (the ‘Infamous Instromonsters of R’N’R’ series) and some bootlegs, i‘ve written in a couple of books: Rockin’ Spain and A Todo Rock ( a Johnny
Burnette bio) i also run and write a blog http://www.rockandblog.es and i am the frontman of Los Twangs, with 3 lps and 3 eps published so far. Well, that’s it, pretty much. A great pleasure and an honour to be invited to the decks of the Boiler.
